Session 3: Environmental and biodiversity impacts Objectives: Assess the impacts of structural changes in the poultry sector on the environment including poultry genetic diversity and how they could be addressed Outputs: Identify measures and tools to reduce the impact of poultry production on the environment - climate, water, biodiversity/poultry genetic diversity

1. Are there trade–offs between the two environmental goods “Global Climate” and “Biodiversity”?

Food security How much diversity is needed for food security? How many providers of genetics are needed? How much national sovereignty over food security do countries want?

Tools for environmental and genetic resource sustainability Planning for pollution control Codes of conduct Labelling Public or private Voluntary or mandatory Who takes the initiative? Stringency

Poultry genetic resources National or international programmes Based on local production? Technology gaps? Who organises and pays?

Support for small scale producers? Supported by Diversity legislation Animal genetic resources Agreements and codes of conduct Do current policies favour large scale producers?
